Mixin’ It Up

Somehow I got this huge blister on the bottom of my foot, so going for a run wasn’t in the cards this morning. But I think I’m going to try something new. Something I’ve never done.
I’m going to workout in the afternoon. Like, after work and before class. I really want to do it. My concern is that I usually loose steam in the afternoon. But I’ve packed my bag so I can go straight after work.
I’ve seen other bloggers ask for tips and inspiration for morning workouts, but I need summathat for my afternoon attempt! If you have any words on how to pump yourself up for an afternoon workout, I’d love to read them!
Moving on to something I never lose steam about: Breakfast. Oh my gracious – I can’t seem to stop a good thing when I’ve found it. I am in love with my overnight oats. I think we’ve gotten to the point in our blog-friendship where I can stop apologizing for my monotonous meals. It’s not that I’m boring. I’m just happy with what I’m eating 🙂 If ain’t broke – don’t fix it (Writing that gramatically incorrect sentence makes me cringe, but it get my point across)
YUMMMY!
Today is day eight in the 30DPC 🙂
A picture of your favorite memory
I graduated from college and got engaged to the love of my life in a matter of minutes. It was truly the best day of my life. I’ve never been so proud of myself and so happy (and genuinely shocked!) at the same time 🙂
I hope you have a fantastic morning!!
Let’s chat – What’s your favorite memory? What time of day do you workout? What’s your favorite cardio routine?
The Lunchbox Diaries 
Repeat meals need no apologies if you ask me 😉 I’m content with sweet potatoes every day for dinner if that’s what convenient 😉 Your overnight oats look fantastic, anyways!
I think if you really WANT to do it, you won’t have any problem getting motivated to workout. For me, it’s the desire that really determines whether I’ll workout or not. I used to think I was strictly an am-workout person, but I did it in the afternoon once and was surprised at how much…easier? …it seemed.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jess! 🙂
Okay I’ll try to give you some motivation, since I usually workout in the afternoon! First off, you’ve got your workout clothes packed! Whenever I leave early in the morning, I have everything set out for my afternoon workout so there’s no excuse when I come home. Make sure your ipod is charged…if mine isnt charged, I’m less likely to go. Music keeps me pumped!! Best memory? When Stephen proposed at sunrise on the beach 🙂 Fav Cardio? Kickboxing class or running outside. Btw – my PB is bout gone which means I’m makin’ Oats in a jar soon!
Good call on the iPod! I think mine is charged, but I have my phone as a back up. Whew! Um, I just realized that I don’t know your proposal story. Future blog post?? (Please?!) 😉
Aww thank you for your sweet comment on my post! I also LOVE overnight oats. They really help me in getting out of the door on time in the mornings! Your oat combinations look delicious and I will definitely try some!
Some of my fondest memories are of college graduation weekend. On Saturday I graduated college and was commissioned in the Army. On Sunday, I married my college sweetheart, Lisa.
That is such an awesome story!! It makes my heart happy 🙂
My favorite memory would have to be making my speech at graduation and not a. falling on my face, and b. not losing my place during the speech. I usually work out after work when all the good classes are. My only cardo for now is my hip hop dance class! haha
It was such a great speech and I knew a) you would NOT fall on your face and b) that it would be perfect. I was right 🙂 And you’re taking a hip-hop dance class?!?! Haha I love it!
I work out after work every day around 5 p.m. It does take some getting used to, but once you’re in the routine, it’s a LOT easier!
just tell yourself you can have a fabu dinner once you’re done. that’s what I do. 😉
You’re right! It was actually really easy!
Afternoon workouts are harder for me too.
And that sounds like an amazing memory, made me smile!
I know what you mean about losing steam in the afternoon. I’m stuck working out at night, and I hate it, but there’s no way I could get up at 5:15 to work out.
Yeah, I don’t know what it is – but around 3:00 I’m just like “get me outttaaa here!” and I’m tired and lazy. Haha 🙂
that is a great memory!!!! 🙂
Thank you! Yes, it sure is a happy one 🙂
I’m a morning work out person and my go to cardio is most probably the elliptical, bike, and the treadmill. Don’t worry girl those overnight oats never get boring 🙂
I love your proposal story/photo. If my boyfriend proposed on graduation day that would be the best present ever…it’s like all of those years of hard work paid off,and now you have a future with him to look forward to :).
Um. That’s like the most adorable photo I’ve ever seen. That’s all I wanted to say. 🙂
Oh, thank you!! 🙂
